This looks like you've gotten yourself a double-patched file.  Perhaps you
should try cleaning your build tree and trying again?

Anyway, it built for me and I've committed the patch to /branches/sarge. 
I'd be happy if someone else could follow through with the security team,
though.

BTW, I've downgraded this bug from 'grave' to 'important' since, according
to upstream's security advisory, it's a DoS rather than an exploitable
privilege escalation.

Cheers,
